We were still in that position for for some minutes when we heard a sharp knock on the door. I asked him if he was expecting anybody and he said no. He stood up from the bed and went towards the door to check who was knocking.After about ten minutes he didn't show up I was about to go out and check what was going on before I heard loud voices from the sitting room.I climbed out from the bed, realizing how cold the floor was I slipped my legs into a slipper beside the bed, it was Daniels and looking very big on my leg but I put it on like that anyway. I jgot to the passage that led to the sitting room and I could barely see anything or find my way easily to the sitting room because it was already dark and there was absence of window there.As I walked back slowly to the room to get the rechargeable lamp that was plugged in the other room, wondering why Daniel had not put on the generator since they refused to supply power. I mistakenly tripped and fell. A sharp scream escaped my m

We walked to the house without saying any word to each other. My mind was still racing and I couldn't still believe what just happened. It was not like it was a new thing, it was just that it was the first time I experienced something horrible like that, a gun pointed at me and all that.I have never experienced that in my life. I felt so bad because it was all my fault, if I had not gotten hurt we would not have had any cost to go out that night and Daniel wouldn't have been hit. The thought of the guy hitting him made me furious and sad and a tear dropped from my 76. As we got home I slumped on the couch, Daniel went to the bathroom to ease himself.What a day! I thought sighing. After some minutes he came into the sitting room and sat beside me taking my hand."I'm so sorry for what happened, for the terror you passed through" he said."You don't have to apologise it's all my fault and you are the one who got hit, look at your face all swollen, poor thing" I cried."It's fine i'm o

"Good morning sweety, I have to rush to somewhere now" Daniel said kissing me lightly on my forehead. He was all dressed up, wearing a slightly ripped jeans and t-shirt. I sat up yawning and stretching."Good morning, where are you going? I asked between yawns. He was looking very cute this morning. I remembered last night and blushed."I got a call from a friend for something, I want to go an sort things out with him" he said brushing his hair in front of the standing mirror."What's that? I enquired stretching myself as I climbed off the bed and stood beside him in front of the mirror." I don't know yet, he said picking up a white powder, he a little amount into his palm, rubbed it together and applied it on his face. I wrapped my arms round his waist and hugged him from behind."Look into the mirror" he said. I did so, making an ugly face, and it made him laugh."See how we look good together" He said smiling, at me through the mirror. " Our kids will be very cute" he added.

I woke up around minutes past nine in the night because chioma and I had planned on going on night class because of the upcoming exam. It was very easy for me to assimilate during night hours. Or in the early morning hour when everywhere was quiet and you could hear the sound of a pin drop. We usually go to night class to read all through the night especially when there was an upcoming exam or test.A call came into my phone and it was Daniel.

She said it . easy for her to read and assimilate anytime she was listening to music. But for me it was a total different case, anytime I was listening to music I usually listen to the lyrics and translate the meaning In my head. And if peradventure I have a book I was reading I would not understand a thing in the book.

I really felt for her but there was nothing I could do I just stood there looking as chioma was being carried away.Ashley stop beside me muttering what I didn't really hear, she kept on talking without producing any sound then suddenly I heared someone cock a gun and as I turned around I saw a man on black all over coming towards me pointing a gun at me.

I was immediately rushed to the hospital where I delivered a baby girl.Going into labour and delivering was really the one thing I dreaded most. I had told a nurse about that and how I feared that I might not survive it and she had assured me that I could bear it and after all the pains I would go through the joy of seeing the child would take them all away.That was really what had happened. At a time I thought I might even die as I couldn't bear the pain anymore but when I saw the face of the child, my child, the pain vanished and I became unconscious.

After bathing and dressing up we left for the boutique."This boutique sells good clothes at affordable price, not like those ones that put too much profit on their dresses" Anabelle said as we entered the boutique.It was filled with different people who had also come to buy clothes or hand bags. After getting some clothes a nightie and some other stuffs I needed we paid for it and left for the house. Anabelle also got herself some clothes, ripped jeans and some gowns.There was traffic on the road and we stayed in the bus longer than we were supposed to.

I watched as He held her protectively on her shoulders as they crossed the road.I didn't know when a tear dropped from my eyes to my cheek. I cleaned it angrily. I didn't know why I was becoming too emotional these days and could cry at any slighted thing. I looked down at my stomach, rubbing it gently and forcing myself not to break down and cry.
